"Okay, don't go out early next time without telling me. Although we are about the same age, I have received a death order from Fengming and must take good care of you. Sigh..."
The more Su Wei spoke, the sadder he felt. Forget it, I won’t say anymore.
He had finally won Feng Yuyun's favor for some unknown reason, and things seemed to be developing, but then he encountered this awful task of separation and investigation. He didn't know if Feng Yuyun would forget him after being apart for so many days. What if he ran into some unfamiliar man again, then he would...
Tuanan apologized to Su Wei with some guilt, and then went into the inn.
Not knowing the gloom and sadness on Su Wei's side, Feng Ming was now full of love. He felt his heart was filled with excitement, happiness and energy, and he wanted to rush out and run a few laps right away.
Just as Fengming was getting excited, the carriage stopped and the translator's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, we're here."
As soon as the postman finished speaking, Bi Chun also lifted the curtain, and Feng Yuyun jumped out of the carriage first. She looked so innocent and radiant that the greasy-haired soldiers patrolling the first camp stared at her in amazement.
These soldiers who had been stationed in the barracks for many years had never seen such noble women. But then they saw three graceful noble women in succession. Although they all wore long veils that covered their bodies, their overall elegance was far superior to that of the ordinary women they had seen.
"You haven't even met the three highnesses yet, so why are you standing there like an idiot?"
The officer's loud reprimand came from the side, and the soldiers, who had looked at them foolishly, finally came to their senses and quickly clenched their fists and shouted loudly, "Greetings, Your Highnesses!"
The sudden shouting scared the three princesses who were looking around with great interest. Fortunately, they were all well-educated and did not do anything inappropriate. Although their hearts were pounding with fear, their faces remained calm and did not reveal any flaws.
This made Sheng Jicheng, who was waiting at the gate of the military camp, very disappointed for a while. He deliberately asked his subordinates to let the soldiers shout loudly. He saw that the three women who bullied his baby Baoer yesterday were in an excited state. It would be great if he suddenly shouted at this time and scared them into losing their composure. It could also be considered as getting some interest back for Baoer.
But unfortunately, it seems that these three still have some courage. I'll collect the interest later, Sheng Jicheng made up his mind secretly.
Fengming was the first of the three to react. With the veil covering her face, she looked at Sheng Jicheng openly. He seemed like a completely different person from the one she saw in the hall that day.
Sheng Jicheng in the hall was gentle and elegant, with a very pleasing temperament, but he was full of a sense of incongruity.
Now seeing Sheng Jicheng standing at the gate of the military camp, with no attempt to conceal his ruthlessness and cold temperament as if a wolf cub was about to rush up to devour blood and eat flesh, Fengming finally understood where the sense of incongruity came from. This was what a cold-blooded man who would betray his childhood sweetheart should be like.
"Oh, that's all."
Feng Ming looked at Sheng Jicheng, who deliberately did not come to greet them and even instructed the soldiers to shout and scare them. In his heart, he looked down on him even more. He thought he was just a man who used women to get to the top!
"Sister, the military camp in Mingcheng is too chaotic. There is no military discipline at all. Look at the camp, what a mess it is."
While Feng Ming was sizing up Sheng Jicheng, Feng Xiyun was also observing the military strength and barracks arrangements of the most important defense camp in Dongyao's capital, based on the professional military vision cultivated by the Sixth Prince since childhood.
And then—very disgusted!
The barracks were scattered and disorganized, and he saw many areas of disarray in the living quarters and training areas. Military discipline was lax, with many soldiers not on duty actually crowding around the wooden fences to watch. The ranks and lines were not organized, and the soldiers patrolling the camp didn't even form a proper formation...
"Alas, it seems that this Dongyao is nothing to be afraid of. I shouldn't have been so worried yesterday."
Feng Xiyun shook his head with some disdain.
Feng Ming didn't think so. He first stabilized Xishan and Feng Yuyun, then slowly walked towards Sheng Jicheng in the main camp, and slowly and quietly reminded Feng Xiyun not to take it lightly.
"Anyone who can quietly amass such a large private army right under our noses must not be underestimated. Our real enemy is the one standing in front of us. The state of Dongyao's camp might just be a deliberate show for us. If you really believe him and take it lightly, then you will be passively attacked and you won't even be able to regret it!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that he had reached a place where he could no longer whisper.
"Your humble servant greets Her Royal Highness the First Princess, Her Royal Highness the Third Princess, and the young prince." Sheng Jicheng no longer put on airs. He saluted Feng Ming and the other two with the air of a loyal subject, with impeccable etiquette. "Greetings to Her Royal Highness the First Princess."
"Sorry to bother you, General."
Fengming returned the gift as the representative of Daqing with a gentle attitude, neither too friendly nor too distant, and without a single mistake.
"Thank you for your hard work, General Sheng."
Dongyao, representing Her Royal Highness Princess Xishan, seemed very cold and distant, and even looked like a foreigner compared to Fengming and the others.
Sheng Jicheng couldn't help but smile at Xishan's coldness. In his eyes, Xishan was just a stepping stone to his beloved Baoer, and sooner or later she would become a dog under their feet.
"It is my honor to serve your highnesses."
"Let's go and watch the crossbow demonstration. General Sheng must be a straightforward man, so why would he care about these trivial formalities?"
Feng Xiyun is always the little angel who breaks the commercial society and relieves everyone's social pressure.
After hearing what Feng Xiyun said, Sheng Jicheng stopped being polite and extended his arm: "Your Highnesses, please come this way."
After saying that, he turned around and walked forward to lead the way. Feng Xiyun took two quick steps to get to Sheng Jichen's side. Xishan led Feng Yuyun to follow. Feng Ming didn't need to be led. He followed with a smile and kindness, but his eyes were always observing the situation of the entire camp.
She noticed that among those seemingly unorganized soldiers, there were many looks that made her uncomfortable, making her feel like a lamb being stared at by a wolf. Goosebumps appeared unconsciously. It seemed that Ye Xuwen had to send more guards to protect them.
"General Sheng, I see some soldiers strolling freely around your camp. Are they on leave? Or is this a new patrol arrangement?"
"Oh, those are soldiers on duty."
"Hey, Xiu Mu, why don't you go to the city? Stay in the camp. Your camp is not far from the city."
"That's the soldiers' own business. I don't know."
"Hey, General Sheng, is it intentional that you mix the living quarters with the military quarters? Hey, are you still raising rabbits in the barracks? Hey, are those servants responsible for laundry? Hey..."
Sheng Jicheng: "..."
On the short walk to the training ground, Feng Xiyun performed a hundred thousand whys with great strength. At first, Sheng Jicheng was concerned about his face and answered patiently. Later, Feng Ming noticed what it meant - patience gradually disappeared!
"Ah, we're here. My young prince, please look ahead! The crossbow you wish to see is right in front of us!"
